After what happened to my daughter 2 weeks ago at 17.30 on a Sunday evening with an Indian foreign student high as a kite on NDMA/Ketamine/LSD/Cocaine and booze then why not.....
He has been charged with GBH w. intent, criminal damage, breaking and entry and a parcel of drug charges - 5 to 7 and deportation.

The idea of legalisation has been bandied around for a few years. The problem is no one knows what would happen if drugs were legalised. Presumably it would only be recreational drugs so prescription drugs (and yes there is a big market for them) would still be peddled by dealers.
I just worry about his 'interfering with their lives' comment. The Government has done a lot of that lately to law abiding citizens, it really isnt a good phrase to use.

No.
The best way to deal with drug users is to legalise and regulate sale and consumption.
Decades have taught us that the pointless unearned moral position of governments has simply swallowed billions of pounds in futile efforts to 'win the war' on drugs, and billions of hours of wasted resources that could have been better used elsewhere.
We don't have a choice about whether or not we have drugs in our world, we only have a choice about adopting an adult approach to regulation and control.

//Sniffer dogs plan to tackle Commons' coke problem
Sniffer dogs could be introduced to Parliament in a bid to cut down on drug use in the heart of Westminster.
Senior MPs are considering the move after an investigation found traces of cocaine at 11 out of 12 sites tested for the class A.
A bathroom close to the private offices of Boris Johnson and Home Secretary Priti Patel were among those where signs of illegal drug use were discovered by the Sunday Times.
Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said he would notify police after the discovery in toilets in the Palace building itself and the adjoining Portcullis House, where many MPs have their offices.
Tory MP Charles Walker, who chairs the Commons Administration Committee, told the paper: 'The House of Commons has a long history of using sniffer dogs to detect explosives. It may be that we now need to broaden the range of sniffer dogs . . . to include those which can detect drugs.'//
